/**
 * A gluino (symbol g͂) is the hypothetical supersymmetric partner of a gluon.
 * Gluinos are expected by supersymmetry theorists to be pair produced in
 * particle accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider if they exist. In
 * supersymmetric theories, gluinos are Majorana fermions and interact via the
 * strong force as a color octet.[ As there are 8 gluons of different color
 * combinations, there are 8 gluinos of different color combinations, too.]
 * Gluinos have a lepton number 0, baryon number 0, and spin 1/2. Gluinos decay
 * via strong interaction to a squark and a quark provided that an appropriate
 * mass relation is satisfied. The squark subsequently decays to another quark
 * and the lightest supersymmetric particle, LSP (which leaves the detector
 * unseen). This means that a typical signal for a gluino at a hadron collider
 * would be four jets plus missing energy. However if gluinos are lighter than
 * squarks, 3-body decay of a gluino to a neutralino and a quark antiquark pair
 * is kinematically accessible through an off-shell squark.
